Bridgeburner_ posted:Applied for LAME as Bridgeburner Vitality, especially for the gunner and loader. Everything else do as you like, but make sure you add points to EVERYTHING, even the useless radioman skills, at least until it costs 2 or 3 points per skill. Each point spent, no matter how expensive, counts as one 'level' for the crew, and you want to hit the 100, 150, or 200 level point where you can train Expert and get that sweet +30 boost to really expensive skills like Aim, Range, Loading, etc. epipen posted:exactly, they dogfight till the cows come home on ground strike maps but suddenly when there's a cap point in the air they gently caress off into the enemy spawn or off to the sides At least twice this weekend I locked in a win for my team in AD mode by flying a Catalina at ~20 meters above ground level. No turns, just straight through the middle of the cap and out the other side, 1/3 of their team in hot pursuit, way out into the distance, for a good four minutes. That thing can take a beating, and flying so low really messes with fighters trying to pursue you without crashing or being hit by your .50 turrets, which are surprisingly accurate with a decent crew. So much fun. rockopete fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Mar 9, 2015 |

A pubbie saved my Hs.129B-3 with a pretty spectacular shot at a Thunderbolt with an 37mm Ostwind and I thanked him...then he killed me not 1 minute later because he thought I was a Mosquito

Now that I have some decent tanks I'm absolutely in love with combined battles. The Shermans vs. Pv4F event was perfect for me this weekend. Just the sight of it is everything I've ever wanted out of this game. It's amazing the kind of fun you can have when you're not lit up like a Christmas tree for simply existing. On more than one occasion yesterday I sat at a point and defended it against all comers in my M4 walking away with multiple kills. The joys of 75mm ballistic capped shells vs. 50mm of flat armor on those panzers. There was even a point where I spawned in my Lee, saw that there were no less than 3 Pz4s spawn camping and killed all of them - although I think I got a little lucky with that since I'm p sure that they were using the 75mm ACPR which has a tendency to pass through tanks and not do any damage. Seriously, if you haven't bothered trying it yet it's awesome. Although I am hilariously bad at flying ground attack planes in realistic. I crashed into inanimate objects multiple times yesterday. Maybe since I've literally never, ever done it ever. Ah, well, I'll figure that poo poo out. I found it particularly difficult to find enemies too.

So I came back to war thunder in the last 2 weeks due to getting a (slightly) better computer that can actually run it. Been playing a bunch of planes (I suck a lot in all modes since I forgot how to fly) and tanks (I suck because arcade spotting is bullshit but I actually want XP). Just got the KV-2 and it's the best thing. Casually blooping literally anything you can see at its BR with a shell the size of their entire ammo load is even more satisfying than I thought it would be. I'll get on mumble for RB eventually too, I know about 70% of my sucking at it is not knowing what to do.

The A-O is fun when it gets matched against planes it can handle but the moment something with any form of speed shows up (like a K-61) its a complete pain in the rear end. That cannon though. You can fire it for 70ish seconds non-stop assuming it doesn't jam.

If this ground forces no marker event wasn't so much fun I would be angry at the speed of progression. 5 kills with 347537 hits on Poland using a stock 75mm M4A2 using the default ammo equals half a tier 1 module unlock. Kills included two PzIV F2's shooting a buddy's KV-1 forever while I slowing proceeded to kill gunner, gun, then the rest of the crew members one by one. Neither looked at me so I calmly kill the first one and finish off the second. After helping with the KV-1's repairs, I wander off into town only to hear that the gun was knocked of the KV again by a STUG who was target fixated so I had plenty of time to ammo rack him. By this time the KV driver has died without earning a kill, but has all the spawn points from tanking for me and all but us and three other guys were still alive against most of the german team since the rest thought it'd be awesome fun to trade shots in the middle of fields with germans. Game ends with dueling a stug who ignored me, another Pz IV, a wirbelwind, and some dude sniping from his spawn camping position while the KV pilot is heading back in an IL2 as "fast" as he can. A+++++ would lose again. 75mm Shermans are still fantastic fun.

So does no one play anything but tanks arcade mode? I queued for realistic and sat in it for 5 minutes. Little tired of getting sniped by IS-2's from 1KM away in arcade.

Is anyone having trouble playing ~5.7 BR German tanks? I am having really terrible times with the Tiger I and Panther D. Usually I end up with Tiger IIs and face m26s and IS2s. Actually I can't even remember the last time I won a game as Germans, does it get better?

dominoeffect posted:Is anyone having trouble playing ~5.7 BR German tanks? Odd, I can't stop fighting Tigers in all my BR4.7-5.0 stuff, where the Tiger has anything but a terrible time (unless you're an idiot). Maybe part of the MM problem is the population hasn't reached equilibrium yet, as everyone seems to be racing to T5. If you're behind the general population curve, enjoy getting uptiered at every opportunity.

The Tiger/Panther suffer from problems inherent to tanks and Gaijin's matchmaking: It either gets matched up against stuff it stands little chance against or stuff it absolutely stomps. There's no avoiding it so you better hope the MM rolls you into a game full of T-34s and Shermans. Otherwise just shelve the tank until a no-markers Kursk Jerkoff Simulator rolls around again, or until no-markers is permanent.BadLlama posted:I Don't think its working well enough then, seems like 80% of the players in all my games are driving around in Tigers and Tiger II's. I mean that's really your only choice once you get past the Panther D. Everything after that in the Panther line is really outclassed. A Pershing can one-shot pretty much any of the panthers straight through their front armor from any realistic engagement range. Fart Car '97 fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Mar 9, 2015 |

Also, I had a funky death to one where the round impacted the top of my turret nearly parallel to the armor, skimmed along the top half in and half out of the tank, hit the cupola in the back and then ricocheted back down into the tank and instagibbed me. I actually laughed the x-ray looked so funny.

This is actually perfectly acceptable to me.
